This chapter examines the impacts of environmental changes on wildlife and the livelihoods of forest villagers in the Buxa Tiger Reserve. Deforestation, climate change, and altered land use have reduced natural fodder, driving wild animals into human settlements and escalating conflicts. Monsoon floods further displace wildlife, exacerbating crop and livestock losses for villagers. The chapter also addresses the challenges of resource competition and disease transmission due to grazing practices, the villagers’ reliance on forest resources for fuelwood, and the economic impacts of crop raiding and livestock predation.
